Abstract

The invention relates to an actuator device for a solar tracker (1), in which solar energy is captured by means of rows of solar panels (1.1) that move to follow the sun. The actuator device comprises an arm (4) including, at one end (4.1), a hinge for coupling to transmission means (2) for transmitting the movement to the solar panels (1.1) of the solar tracker (1). The invention also includes a means (3) for rotating the aforementioned arm (4) about a shaft and a means (5) for actuating said arm-rotating means (3), such that the rotation of the arm (4) triggers, by means of the hinge (4.1): the movement of the means (2) for transmitting the movement of the solar panels (1.1), and the rotation of said solar panels (1.1).
